Everything began to vanish from this earth,
that's something everyone already predicted.
Those who left this earth said, “the earth was black,”
yet many laughed it off
and pretended not to see.

The water dried up, the green withered away;
mankind is the final criminal that destroyed this earth.
I remember the rain, like tears dancing in the air, falling into nothing.
The things we love were forgotten.

“If only I had a time machine,”
a hint of despair laughs in those joking words.
The harsh reality, the cruel nights,
I wish I could redo everything, in a dream within a dream.

The wounds, sorrow, hatred, sacrifices are undying.
We wash blood with blood in our foolish disputes.
People cannot govern other people,
yet many laughed it off “like a monster”
and praised civilization.

The obvious isn't obvious,
that's obvious now, so I'm not afraid.
It was a strange stupidity, saying those days
were good as our comfort left.
The things we love are reality.

“If only I had a time machine,”
a hint of despair laughs in those joking words.
The harsh reality, the cruel nights,
I wish I could redo everything, in a dream within a dream.

Our ancestors have tasted
our unknown despair many times so far.
The repeating faults, wars, disasters, catastrophes...
We were born on this earth,
somehow not knowing such things.
It's not necessary to return to the past,
it's not necessary to yearn for the past.

It's only necessary for our hearts
to honor and never forget the past,
because there's a ray of hope in the boundless future.

Love reality
and face reality
without running from reality,
even if we had a completed time machine,
even if it said we could go back.

“I'll completely burn down the time machine,”
even though enemies surround the world.
To protect the present, to protect you,
I will love even a world such as this.

Someday, look, the world that shines in your eyes is waiting.
Even in the darkness, love will shine its warm light.
